For security reasons no!

This was an option in previous versions of Outlook. Do you know why it isn't
now and do you know if it will ever be an option for Outlook 2003?

The notmal way to add sound is by following the instructions at
http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/addingsound.htm but other posts here
indicate that Outlook 2003 SP1 broke the ability.

That should say "normal", not "notmal".

I don't understand why they offer the "sound" option on a tool bar if it
can't be used. I went to the website you listed in your note and while I
didn't expect it to work per what you said, I tried it anyway. I got an
error message when I clicked on the "add sound" button. I'm sure you know
what the message said -- "This object was created in HTMLInlineSoundCtl.
This application is not available to open this object....yada, yada, yada!"
Do you know if there is any chance this feature will be "activated" or added
in the future by MS???

Thanks!

How can sound files cause a security problem? Would it be viruses or
something like that??

Thanks, Chuck.

I don't know, but I suspect that since it was in Windows XP and XP SP1 and
SP2 broke it, that Microsoft will eventually fix it. Tell them you're
disappoiinted at mswish at microsoft dot com or
